Abstract
Hyper-Kamiokande is the next-generation neutrino observatory, aiming to tackle a broad spectrum of physics programs. These include probing leptonic CP violation through long baseline accelerator neutrino oscillations, determining neutrino mass ordering, potentially discovering the proton decay, and capturing neutrinos from supernova relics, other astrophysical sources, and the sun. As the world's largest underground Cherenkov detector, Hyper-Kamiokande boasts a fiducial volume eight times that of its predecessor, Super-Kamiokande. With 258 kton of ultrapure water as its medium, Hyper-Kamiokande is scheduled to begin its groundbreaking operations in 2027, located in Kamioka, Japan. This proceeding outlines the ambitious physics program of Hyper-Kamiokande, details of the design of the detector, and provides an update on its current status.

Report
Hyper-Kamiokande is a next-generation neutrino observatory aiming to probe leptonic CP violation, determine the neutrino mass ordering, potentially discover the proton decay, and capture neutrinos from supernova relics, other astrophysical sources, and the sun. As the world’s largest underground Cherenkov detector, the Hyper-K detector will serve as a far detector of the long baseline neutrino experiment using the upgraded J-PARC neutrino beam. The Hyper-Kamiokande is scheduled to begin its groundbreaking operations in 2027, located in Kamioka, Japan. Hyper-K will produce world-leading results in neutrino oscillations, including a search for CP violation with 5σ sensitivity in 60% of δ C P values, as well as determining the neutrino mass hierarchy.
